[42767/14]

Other Questions: Public Sector Staff Data (11 Nov 2014)

Paul Murphy: I ask the Minister why it is the case that almost two thirds of medical and dental staff employed by the HSE are not on permanent contracts but are instead on temporary or special purpose contracts.

Allegations Regarding Sexual Abuse by Members of the Provisional Republican Movement: Statements (12 Nov 2014)

Paul Murphy: I also pay tribute to Maíria Cahill for her bravery in coming forward as a victim of sexual abuse. The shame and tragedy is that none of the institutions that could have or should have acted in the interests of the victim did so. The IRA did not. When it acted to cover up the crime of one of its members, when it acted to confront a victim with her abuser, when it moved abusers into...
